What's up Desert Hearts Family,

It's our distinct pleasure to welcome one of our favorite artists and all-around human beings to the label, the one, the only, jozif! It was love at first sight when we first partied with this dude two years ago in Mexico, and since then jozif has become one of our most beloved resident DJs at our Desert Hearts Festivals. His delicious personality and incomparable party vibe has made him a fan favorite behind the decks, but it's his dedication towards pushing the musical boundaries that's kept him in our hearts around the world. It's with great pride to give you three original tracks from our dear friend along with an explosive remix from label boss Mikey Lion to round out the EP. There is only one jozif and we couldn't be happier to have him officially join the crew. Welcome to the Family Big Dawg!

Love Always,

Your Desert Hearts Crew

Today, Desert Hearts Records holds high our brother in arms, Marbs, as he makes his debut on the label with his Tusks & Tales EP. As the visual artist for the label, musician, and founding member of Desert Hearts, Marbs embodies the beautifully multi-faceted culture that this community has come to represent.

Tusks & Tales is a journey through the intricately introverted mind of Marbs, a delicate and sonically melding exposé of the highs and lows fans have experienced in his performances for years. From the uplifting lead and spaced out chords of ‘Tusks & Tales’, to ‘Loveish’s emotive strings and intention setting Ray Charles sample, to the ethereal warmth of ‘Pink Skies’ created with atmospheric pulls from Dark Side of The Moon, Marbs turns from light to dark as seamlessly as the desert day turns to night.

The EP also helps welcome Barcelona native T CHES to the Desert Hearts Family with his late night rendition of the title track - a head down, hands in the air remix of the inspiring original.

"For my first EP I wanted to put something out that explored all the various sounds I enjoy. Not just deep, not just tech, but tracks that had a little of everything. I wanted the EP to embody many of the sounds you hear at Desert Hearts and the influences that brought me to who I am today." ~Marbs

By not fearing his influences and instead pushing them forth as the vehicles for expression, Marbs has created a roadmap through which fans and family alike can better understand his innerworkings - Tusks & Tales is the story within Marbs that is not often heard…

Produced alongside longtime friend and Desert Hearts veteran, Machino, their Moon Matrix EP is 4 tracks of raw, brooding analog techno sure to rock the peakest times on the dance floor. These guys have been putting in some serious time in the studio and we couldn't be more proud to release their debut EP together out into the world.

The 13th release on Desert Hearts Records is appropriately our most sinister EP to date and comes from up & coming LA based "weirdo house" producer, Fritz Carlton.

The first track on the EP is titled 'Doses' comes from Fritz and fellow LA based producer, Lubelski. Featuring sinister lyrics from rapper Daemon, this hip-house party anthem is so facetiously over the top it reminds us of the devil on your shoulder when you're partying at 5 in the morning. Let's be real here, we all like to get silly on the dance floor, so why do we pretend like it's not happening? Why can't we talk about these things? With a downright evil bassline and off beat snare drum patterns to accompany the lyrics, 'Doses' is sure to ruffle some feathers and murder dance floors across the world.

The title track 'T.M.K.N.' wraps up the whole vibe of the release as a grueling bassline is paired with a sinister pitched down vocal proudly announcing "That's My Kinda Night". With snare drums and tweaked out wobbles galore, we think you get to know Frtiz Carlton pretty well by the end of the EP. We think this debauchery loving weirdo is going to fit in very nicely at Desert Hearts Records.

After two standout sets from Andreas Henneberg and his alter-ego Cascandy during our Desert Hearts 3 Year Anniversary Festival, we fell in love with the work-horse producer from Berlin and knew we had to have him release on Desert Hearts Records. Everything from Andreas' music, his vibe, and his personality were a perfect fit for our Desert Hearts Family. We were even more excited when Andreas told us he'd love to release on our label as The Glitz, his breakout side project with production partner and DJ Daniel Nitsch. While the title track "Chubby Cheek" leans more on the techier side, it's the B-Side "Freedamn" that embodies everything that Desert Hearts stands for: Love, Freedom, & Positive Energy for the world. Both tracks are heavily hip hop influenced and have been consistently setting dance floors on fire. We couldn't be more proud to welcome Andreas and Daniel from The Glitz to Desert Hearts Records. We know you'll be seeing a lot more of them in the future.

Our newest release on Desert Hearts Records comes from long time DH Resident DJ, Tara Brooks, alongside fellow production partner and old school LA DJ/Producer, Brad Hart. Tara's stock has been steadily rising over the past couple of years as her elegant yet brooding House & Techno sets have become staples across the North America festival scene. From Desert Hearts to Burning Man, if you've ever witnessed her pint-sized magnificence behind the decks, you know she's a true soul-controller in every sense of the word.

Her first EP on Desert Hearts Records is appropriately titled "Sophrosyne", which is the ancient Greek concept of an ideal of excellence in character and soundness of mind. The whole EP is tripped out, with earthy origins that transport the listener to a far away land reminiscent of ancient Egypt.

Remix duties come from Just Her from Him_self_Her fame, and Ecuadorians Andre Salmon & Chris C.

Claude Vonstroke - "Great EP supported!"
Tim Green - "fantastic release!! every track is awesome!"
wAFF - "Cool tunes will play then all!"
Amine Edge - "Downloading for Amine Edge & DANCE, thanks"
YokoO - "On the DL thanks lads"
Joyce Muniz - "dopeness!!"
Silky - "Fucking brilliant!"
Simon Shackleton - "loving the deep and devious dusty love of 'Dust'"
Atnarko - "interesting quirky bz"
Sabo - "deep & dark nice one fellas!"

The musical journeys of Dance Spirit and David Scuba alike have been defined by a unique sense of perpetual evolution and sonic exploration. Now through the infamously spirited Desert Hearts Records, these two scene dominating entities have joined forces to produce one of their most prized releases to date, the ‘Dust’ EP.

As its name implies, Dust is primed for the most tribal dance floors of the international House and Techno communities. From the spaced out percussive wonder of the EP’s title track, to the throbbing yet playfully distorted vocal samples of ‘Cactus Cloud’, right into the woefully experimental synth work of ‘Mirage’, the release delivers a murky dreamstate of massive proportion.

Hailing from Barcelona, Christopher Mohn and Reagan Denius of Dance Spirit bring to this collaboration years of experience and countless releases on premiere labels like Maison D’Etre, Superfreq, Kindisch, Culprit, Akbal Music, and Endless. Their refined take on Techno calls on heavy layering and effortlessly rolling low ends to produce minimal yet vibe ridden 4/4 masterpieces. A renowned live show has landed them at Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle, Piknik Electronic, City Fox, Sacbe and of course on the dusty helm of the Desert Hearts Festival.

David Scuba’s impeccable taste for swelling basslines and crowd carrying anthems has earned him an industry wide reputation amongst fans and heads alike. His invaluable founding membership of Mr. C’s Superfreq has seen David’s role within the label and partysquad sprawl from resident DJ to promoter - carrying him from Detroit and Bogota to Mexico’s BPM Festival and fabric London. He too has flexed his irrefutable knowledge of the life atmosphere at Desert Hearts Festival, playing one of the most talked about sets of the Three Year Anniversary Festival this past November.

'Into The Jungle' is the first collaboration between Desert Hearts Records boss, Mikey Lion, alongside Sol Selectas Records honcho, Sabo. Both known for regularly droppin' tribalistic drum grooves, Mikey & Sabo bonded over a common love of music and a less common love of skateboarding. They both knew it was only a matter of time before they got in the studio together to make some magic. The title track 'Into The Jungle' is a deep, forward thinking tune that takes the listener on a ride through the mystical depths of the jungle. You can almost feel the energy of the jungle breathing down your neck as you make your way through the song's rises and falls. 'Lonely Boy's Mighty Jungle Mix' takes it up another notch as the same mystic synths from the original track build for nearly 4 minutes before exploding into a massive high energy drop. The result is a 9 minute epic that is sure to rock any peak time dance floor. The next track on the EP titled 'Sally', is a much darker, stomper of a tune you wouldn't normally expect from Mikey & Sabo. Laced with big kicks, heavy synths, and cryptic vocals to boot, 'Sally' was made for peak time in a dark warehouse. Finally, to round off the EP, 'Sally' gets remixed by badass Joyce Muniz who brings a cranking tech house vibe to the track. The bassline chugs along to constantly changing high hats until the acid synth at the end brings the whole thing home. In typical Desert Hearts fashion, this entire EP was made to crush dance floors.

The 8th release on Desert Hearts Records comes from label boss Mikey Lion alongside fellow tech house enthusiast and Desert Hearts veteran, Bengal. The first track on the EP, titled "Big Cats Groove", is a tribal drum track laced with low slung lion and tiger samples. The vocal sample that instructs the crowd how to properly find the groove was appropriately recorded from Bengal's African Drum Teacher during his last semester at UC Berkeley. The second track on The Big Cats EP, titled "Like That", is a straight to the point tech house banger that hits as low to the floor as it gets. The equally tough vocal sample reminds the crowd to put trust in their DJ just as the bassline comes back in giving them what they want. Finally, Bengal's remix of "Big Cats Groove" completes the EP as he takes a much more spacey and dubbed out approach to the track. Filled with melodic synths and vocal echoes, the EP ends with a much moodier and super tripped out vibe.

And now for The Tale Of Michael Rosa...

We'd been huge fans of Michael's productions so we knew he would be the perfect fit to play a dark and deep tech set late night at our Desert Hearts Spring Festival 2014. The festival took place during the last weekend in April in the high desert, so all our hopes were going towards the weather not being too hot. Michael, assuming we were a San Diego based festival, packed accordingly thinking he was spending his weekend in the most beautiful city in the country... As luck would have it, the weather gods decided to royally fuck with us and it snowed on Friday night during the festival. Michael, coming from Miami, packed little more than shorts and a T-shirt to get him through the weekend. Not only was this Michael's first Desert Hearts, but it was also his first California Style outdoor festival. Needless to say, Michael got the ever-loving shit kicked out of him that weekend, mentally and physically. We did our best to take care of him but he was a goner...

The next time we heard from him, he came back to us with a super psychedelic Hunter S Thompson inspired EP and told us that Desert Hearts was a huge awakening for him. 72 hours of non-stop House, Techno, & Love tends to have that effect on people. It takes you to the brink of sanity and tests you mentally and physically just as it did to Michael. The EP he sent us was completely inspired by his experience at Desert Hearts and it's absolutely brilliant. We snatched it up right away and sent it off to a few of our favorite Desert Hearts veterans for remixes.

So that's the story of Michael Rosa. The Ultimate G who had no idea what he was getting into and got his ass kicked by Desert Hearts. This is Michael's redemption and we couldn't be more proud of the kid.

We've been best friends with Zack Yakovlev & Yanick Rieffel of Bells & Whistles for almost a decade now and we're extremely excited to release their debut EP on Desert Hearts Records. Originally native to Russia & Switzerland respectively, they were some of the first dudes to introduce us to real house & techno when they found themselves transplanted in San Diego. They've been Desert Hearts Family since before DH was even a thing and honestly it isn't too far-fetched to say there wouldn't even be a Desert Hearts if it wasn't for Bells & Whistles. We love these guys with every ounce of energy we have and we're so grateful to have them in our lives. Add to all our history some serious talent in the studio and an infectious vibe behind the decks and it's safe to say the Zack & Yanick are going to be with us till the very end.

The Hands EP starts off with 3 original tracks from B&W showcasing their ultra deep & tasteful style of house. Always tripped out and super moody, you've probably danced like crazy to these tunes at our last couple festivals. The EP is rounded off by an incredible remix by our new best friend jozif. jozif has always been a favorite dj/produce of ours, but after spending a week partying and vibing together at this year's BPM Festival in Mexico, it became clear that jozif was a true warrior of the love movement and we had to have him.

We've been friends with our newest Desert Hearts Records artist, Ché, since 9th grade growing up in North County San Diego. He's always been one of the most talented and passionate musicians we've ever known. With a background in more indie sounding music, we were blown away when he first started showing us some of the deep house tracks he'd been working on. It's our pleasure to finally share with the world Ché's debut EP on Desert Hearts Records titled Transformation. Arguably the most sophisticated release on the label so far, we know Ché is going to have a long, love-filled future with us.

‘Don’t You Think’ was directly inspired by Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream party at the Nest. So it was only fitting that I send the tune to Lee, and even more fitting that he immediately loved it, and signed it to his label Get Weird. It seemed like the stars had aligned perfectly, but after almost a year, circumstances forced Lee to shut down Get Weird, and thus the track was relinquished back to me. 
I believe that when one door closes, another opens, and that is exactly what happened with Desert Hearts. They welcomed me, and my music with open arms into their burgeoning family, and I could not feel more
at home.

Kevin Anderson has always been a House staple of our Desert Hearts Festivals these past two years. So much so that we made him a Resident DJ after the first time he played for us. Simply put, the dude is a living party and one of our best friends. We couldn't be more excited to release Kevin's debut EP as the sophomore release on Desert Hearts Records.

With 2 incredible solo tracks from Kevin, a collaboration track with Desert Hearts Records Boss Mikey Lion, & a monster remix from our friends Yobill & RYBO, the entire EP has pretty much become our secret weapon stockpile. We can't wait to share the rest of the EP with you very soon.

The B Side of our very first release on Desert Hearts Records has Mikey Lion & Jonjo Williams telling a story through the eyes of one of the world's biggest superstars, the one and only James Brown. Sampled from one of the most classic and hilarious on-air interviews in history, it's safe to say we've all been on his level at some point in our lives. This song is a tribute to James Brown and a reminder that no matter what problems you have in life, a positive outlook and a great sense of humor will get you through just about anything. It's time to bring back the fun in the funk. We Are All Desert Hearts.
